    Easy setup

    Sounds Great! I've used Yamaha receivers for some time now. Prior to this one I purchased a Denon. I was not happy with the way it connected to my TV. The TV finds the Yamaha and connects perfectly. My receiver sits in a different room than the TV so ease of connection is a must for me. Changing to other sources is very easy with the Yamaha. Looking forward to years of entertainment with it.

    Best AVR I have EVER owned!!!

    The yamaha RX-V6A has been a staple for me. I have two of them now. Best AVR I have ever owned. Good on the budget and it is both reliable and powerful! Lot's of features! I have owned "high value" receivers in the past and they can't even come close to this one! I DEFINITELY recommend getting yourself one......OR TWO!!!

    Awesome AV receiver!

    I had a Yamaha RXV-385. Great receiver. I bought the RX-V6A because it has more power, Dolby Atmos and a host of other features. Including phono input for my turntable. The unit is visually striking. Hook up was a breeze. Everything works as it should. No problems with Bluetooth. But the main thing is the sound quality, which is excellent. Whether watching movies or vinyl, or listening to tidal or apple music, the sound quality is superb. The unit has performed flawlessly. Hook up to my Wi-Fi was simple and fast. Soon as I turned the unit on, it notified me a firmware update was available. That took just a couple of minutes. All in all I love this receiver. Super easy to set up, great features, plenty of power, and awesome sound quality. And its a Yamaha, which has always been a reliable brand for me. Couldn't be happier!

    Absolutely love Yamaha RX-V6A receiver

    I purchased the Yamaha RX-V6A 7.2-channel AV Receiver from Best Buy last month, and I am extremely pleased with it. The setup was straightforward, and the sound quality is outstanding. It delivers a powerful and immersive audio experience specially paired with good speakers. I have 5 polk speakers attached to it, and the receivers delivers a rich base to the speakers. I do not have to use a subwoofer at all, making movie nights and music listening sessions much more enjoyable. The range of features, including Dolby Atmos and DTS support, adds a new dimension to my home theater system. Additionally, the receiver's sleek design and intuitive interface make it a great addition to my living room. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend this receiver to anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup.

    Great AVR at $599.00

    Okay. The Yamaha RX-V6A is my 3rd Yamaha receiver. The other two are enjoying well-deserved rests. I really like this new look of the RX-V6A. It's sleek, clean, and still a good sized unit. The face screen is easy to work. But enough of it's appearance. Setup was a breeze. Took all of 10 minutes. Sound quality is very good. I listen to streaming HD and Ultra HD music most of the day. The DAC in the unit covers it well. Highs are really crisp with lows to match. DAC handles 16 bit / 44.1 khz along with 24 bit/192 with a capability of up to 32 bit / 384 khz. Looking forward to when streamers are at 32 bit. 7.2 or 5.2 Dolby Digital Plus for movies and TV. Both DTS-X and Dolby Atmos work excellent with Netflix, Disney +, VUDU, and, of course, Blu-ray, 4k discs. Video quality is great. 4K, HDR10, and Dolby vision are clean, clear and loaded with color. I'll be happy when the remaining firmware updates are available. Supposed to be this month. Looking forward to the update on Dolby Height Virtualization. Overall I'm happy with my purchase of the Yamaha RX-V6A. Delivery time was good from Best Buy. About a week. I recommend the RX-V6A.
